Yesterday's post on hybrids spawned a great discussion on when it becomes useful for DPS players to switch out to different roles. Today, I wanted to expand it further and delve into the topic of Priests.
Now according to the Rules of Raiding #77:
DPS and tanking players should not have to heal.
It's a good rule that states that if you're in a DPS position or in a tanking position, there is no reason for you to have to change your role to heal. For one thing, you don't have the spec or the bonuses or the gear to pull it off long term in an encounter.
If you're a Shadow Priest, all you need to do is simply wail on the boss.
Unfortunately, it's not always that simple. Rule #10 for instance states:
Every possible course of action should be considered by every player no matter what they do in order to beat the encounter.
In a case where rules may clash, rules that are lower on the scale will supercede the ones above it.
Let's apply it.
Shadow Priests will almost never be called upon to drop their Shadow form to heal. It's inefficient and often times unnecessary. But a Shadow Priest is still a Priest and they have access to some valuable cooldowns.
There is one in particular called Divine Hymn.
Don't shy away from using it if you have to. As one of the healing leads, I look and see what cooldowns are available. I won't hesitate to ask for Shadow Priests to Divine Hymn. I won't hesitate to ask a Ret Paladin to use their bubble-sacrificing abilitiy. Feral Druids know that my Priest is the Hummer of healers in the guild and that I am one heck of a mana guzzling machine when I hit the accelerator. Yet I'm playing a hybrid class, right? (That's a joke).
Anub'arak is a stressing fight for healers. This oversized frost beetle ramps it up a notch when he hits the 30% mark and everyone in the raid starts taking damage. A quick glance at the cooldowns available is followed by me barking out names and abilities. They respond with either an affirmative or a negative. This isn't the time to debate why their cooldown isn't up. Maybe a Paladin had to bubble earlier in the fight to survive. Stuff like that gets discussed after the fact, not during.
I run a total of four Priests during raids. Two are Shadow and the other two heal. Shadow Priests know they're not going to be asked to drop form and heal (usually). But four Priests means access to four Divine Hymns which is extremely powerful during a a phase with high incoming damage.
The final point I want to stress is that a Shadow Priest isn't required to keep the raid alive for long periods of time. That's not their job. But they can help keep the raid stable enough for everyone else to stay alive and pile on their damage.
If you're in a top 100 worldwide raiding guild, your Shadow Priests might not have to do it. For the rest of us, every option needs to be considered.

White House Garden Yields a Ton of Produce, Literally!
Back in 2009, Michelle Obama had a vision to create a garden at the White House. With the help of school children and Sam Kass, assistant White House chef and senior policy adviser for healthy food initiatives, Mrs. Obama's dream became a reality. The start-up cost for the garden that now graces the South Lawn was $200 and it has produced over 2,000 pounds of produce to date in a 1,500 square foot space.
The produce created at the White House includes a variety of vegetables (lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, etc.) and an abundance of fresh herbs (cilantro, rosemary, parsley, sage, thyme, etc.).
According to Sam Kass, the veggies are not certified organic, but no pesticides are used. Kass tells Better Homes and Gardens, "– we use natural controls. We have ladybugs and praying mantises — they do a pretty good job of keeping our garden pest-free."
Veggies produced on the South Lawn garden go to more than just the dinner table at the White House. What doesn't get stored, canned, or pickled goes to homeless shelters, the Navy mess that feeds the West Wing staff, and to the kitchen for State Dinners.
Michelle Obama has promoted, encouraged, and succeeded in showcasing a healthy food agenda with her White House garden. In addition to her garden, she has also added honeybees to the South Lawn which provide pollination for the garden and, of course, honey, a fabulous alternative to sugar.

At least some content in this article is derived from information featured in Harry Potter: Wizards Unite and Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery.
- "Professors have a long and valued history within the wizarding world. We teach across a broad set of specialised subjects and mould young minds. But don't be fooled, while some may underestimate us, Professors are never to be trifled with. Look no further than the Battle of Hogwarts for your proof."
- —Minerva McGonagall addressing members of the S.O.S. wanting to pursue a career as a Professor.[src]
The title of Professor is given to members of the wizarding scientific and scholarly community engaged in education and research, taken as a whole.
It is, perhaps most notably, used by teachers at wizarding educational institutions such as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Durmstrang Institute, and Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It is considered rude by some for students to not address a member of a teaching staff on their school as professor, Madam[1] or Sir,[2] as is the case with Professor Snape. Harry Potter often chose to omit this title when speaking of Snape to others, leading them to chastise him. However, the most notable exception to this is Rubeus Hagrid, who is usually referred to by his surname.
The term Sir or Madam (depending on the gender) is an alternative title to use instead of Professor, on the speaker's preference. While talking to their colleagues, they usually use their first name. Professor Snape, however, preferred to use others' surnames. For example, he called Remus Lupin, Lupin, and Gilderoy Lockhart, Professor Lockhart in the Duelling Club in 1992. The exception to this would be Professor McGonagall, whom Professor Snape called Minerva.
Powers and rights
Professors have the power to award and dock points (to determine the winner of the house cup competition), give detention, and write notes for certain areas and activities that are usually off limits. Examples is how Hogwarts Professors can grant permission to such locations as the Restricted Section in the Hogwarts Library or permission to practise on the Quidditch pitch.
Professors have no right to use magical or physical force to assault students (at least under Headmaster Albus Dumbledore), as Professor "Moody" was reprimanded by Minerva McGonagall for turning Draco Malfoy into a ferret, while Dumbledore threatened Dolores Umbridge for violently shaking Marietta Edgecombe. They can put students in detention, but cannot expel them without the approval of the Headmaster.
Life outside of classes
Many Hogwarts professors reside at the school during the school year, though this is not always the case. During the 1980s, Minerva McGonagall owned a cottage in nearby Hogsmeade with her husband, later moving out after his death. A teacher could also visit a home by means of Apparition, the Floo Network, or a Portkey. In the summer of 1996, Severus Snape returned to his childhood house in Spinner's End.
Those who remain at the school throughout the night seem to have private quarters, similar to apartments/flats, that are near or attached to their offices. A Head of House probably has private quarters near their House's common. On at least one occasion, Professor McGonagall could hear the noise of a party in the Gryffindor common room from wherever she was sleeping.
Professors typically eat meals with the students in the Great Hall, but this is not required. Sybill Trelawney often preferred to eat alone in her classroom. When Harry Potter attended his first Divination class with her in 1993, she mentioned that some of the students might not have seen her before.
Each Professor seems to have at least one "free" period during the school week. Harry Potter's third-year Defence Against the Dark Arts class saw Professor Snape in the staffroom once. Snape was also available to serve as a substitute teacher when Remus Lupin was, unbeknownst to the same group of students, ill from the effects of a werewolf transformation. Harry's fifth-year Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Dolores Umbridge, sent him to Professor McGonagall after he argued with her during a lesson. McGonagall was in her office.
During the second term of each year, a Head of House holds career counselling meetings with each of their fifth-year students, advising them on what N.E.W.T.-level classes they should take in preparation for their desired careers.
When a weekend Apparition Course take place at the school, a Head of House attends and helps to oversee the participating students from their House.
It is presumed that wizards and witches do not need any form of specific education or training if they wish to become teachers. They should possess knowledge and skill in the subject of their teaching, and preferably hold an O.W.L. and a N.E.W.T. in the subject. Sometimes a Headmaster/Headmistress will hire someone who did not sit the O.W.L. exams.
Dumbledore chose Rubeus Hagrid as a Care of Magical Creatures Professor in 1993, even though Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts during his third year. In 1996, Dumbledore hired Firenze, who, as a Centaur, had never attended a human school. On the other hand, he refused to hire Tom Riddle, knowing his ill intents despite his superior qualifications. Of course, this all depends on who is the current Head in question.
At least three years of after-school life experience are necessary. Both Minerva McGonagall and Severus Snape were hired when they were twenty-one years old. When Tom Riddle graduated from Hogwarts, he immediately asked then-Headmaster Armando Dippet if he could teach Defence Against the Dark Arts. Dippet considered him to be too young at age eighteen, but invited him to return in a few years and apply again.
Even acquiring a post as Professor, teachers may temporarily return to the outside world to continue their practical studies. Quirinus Quirrell left his post as Muggle Studies instructor for a year-long sabbatical, allegedly to "gain first-hand experience" in Defence Against the Dark Arts so he can teach it the following year.
When Dumbledore hired Gilderoy Lockhart, simply to expose him as a fraud to the wizarding world, Professor McGonagall asked what can be learned from such a vain man. Dumbledore replied that much can be learned even from a bad teacher: what not to do, how not to be.
When the Ministry of Magic took on more tyrannical methods of trying to wrest control of Hogwarts from Dumbledore, they imposed an Educational Decree allowing them to implant a professor into the staff should the Headmaster fail to find a suitable candidate. This led to the installation of Dolores Umbridge, who showed her own inability to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts properly, revealing that the Ministry would prefer to a figurehead to deliver politically authorised theories, rather than a genuine professor with practical qualifications.

Fits your Chevrolet Tracker like a glove
The floors in your Tracker have been scanned with lasers - a tried-and-true method to make sure these floor mats fit every corner of your Chevrolet. Your set of floor mats are designed to fit your car, not anyone else's.
All-weather Chevrolet protection
You have full protection in all environments, including messy kids, snow, mud and dirt. Since these WeatherTech DigitalFit mats work like a tray, it's incredibly easy to get the messy liners out of your Chevrolet, spray them down, and put them back in.
More value when you sell your Chevrolet Tracker
Your original Tracker flooring will remain in pristine condition, which means - in most cases - your vehicle will be more valuable when you sell or trade-in your vehicle. Your carpeting won't be subjected to normal wear and tear.
Match your Tracker's interior
Black, gray, or tan. And cocoa for some applications. Choose whichever color best matches your Chevrolet Tracker. While black is the most popular, and looks great with all interiors, we also have tan, gray and cocoa in certain applications.
Works like a tray
This means that they aren't flimsy or rubbery, so dirt & spills will remain ON the mat when you take them out of your Tracker. You can grab the floor mat with one hand and its shape will stay the same. WeatherTech DigitalFit is able to accomplish this with a patented blend of materials.
Stays in place in your Chevrolet Tracker
These floor mats aren't going to move around. They are 100% custom fit to your Tracker with a backing that helps them stay in place. These also feature retention devices if your Chevrolet has built-in retention devices (like a hook or anchor) on the driver's side.
Keeps spills from your feet
If you spill your drink on the floor, the mats have a channel design that will direct the spill to the bottom of the mat and away from your feet. This is designed so that you can keep driving to your destination without worrying about getting your feet dirty.
Lifetime limited warranty
As an authorized retailer, you're protected for as long as you own your Chevrolet Tracker. WeatherTech's Limited Lifetime Warranty ensures that you're protected from any manufacturer's defects in materials or workmanship. Excludes normal wear and tear.

Yearly statistics put recession into slightly better focus
As the fiscal year draws to a close the relevant government ministries and agencies release their statistics for the previous calendar year. This week, the media mostly concentrated on a survey by the Bank of Japan that revealed a steep rise in the percentage of households (two or more people) with absolutely no financial assets, meaning no stocks, bonds, savings or annuities: 28.6 percent, 6.3 points higher than it was in 2010 and the highest it has ever been since 1963, when the BOJ started conducting this particular survey. Among the households that did have financial assets, the average amount per household was ¥11.5 million, or ¥190,000 less than in 2010. The reason cited by the BOJ is a loss of value in securities affected by market performance in response to the March 11 disaster and the European credit crisis. However, one aspect of the survey that tends to get overlooked in most news reports is that 8,000 questionnaires were sent out but only 47.5 percent were returned with responses, which means the number of households represented was less than 4,000.
For a bit more insight into the nation's economic well-being, there's the chingin kozo kihon tokei chosa, a survey conducted by the Health, Welfare and Labor Ministry to find out the situation with regards to salaries and wages. According to the results the average monthly pay of a full-time worker in Japan in 2011 was ¥296,800, which was 0.2 percent less than it was in 2010. Yearly salaries have been going down since 2008, when the average was ¥299,980. This amount includes basic wage plus any regular allowances but does not include overtime or bonuses. The ministry received responses from 45,818 firms, each of which has at least ten employees. Broken down a bit further, the average yearly pay for men was ¥328,300 (about the same as it was in 2010) and for women it was ¥231,900. That's about 70 percent of men's pay, but ten years ago women's average pay was 60 percent of men's.

Packing Up Your Data CenterBy Steven S. Ross Print
Your data center doesn't cut it anymore. What should you budget for a move to one that can meet your needs?
So your current data center just doesn't cut it anymore. What should you budget for a move to one that can meet your needs?
Allow three to six months for planning, even for a small move. You'll need to determine the best time to move, and don't forget to see if any systems need to be kept up and running.
You may want to upgrade or replace equipment, "but don't do it if you are starting up the new center without keeping the old one running," warns Blaine Berger, president of Electronic Oasis Consulting in Longmont, Colo.
Large data center moves often require contracting with a hosting site for 30 to 60 days and running data in parallel until the new center is up to speed. If you're installing new equipment, get it running before you close the old center. You'll need to check with software vendors about licensing issues, and budget extra staff time.
What do you look for in a new data center? Reliable utilities and network connections, of course. Compatibility of connections with remote network storage. And you'll want a secure space that requires as little modification as possible.
Many busy data center chiefs turn to relocation consultants to help with or handle the job. Consultants can save money and time by, for instance, negotiating with property managers for space refurbishments. Any contract with a consultant should carefully scope out the work expected and the rates to be paid.
And try, if possible, to move on a weekend. Labor costs are higher, but interference with business workflow is minimized.

Thanks to the patent trolling from Apple, Samsung has released a re-designed version of the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, known as the Tab 7.0N Plus.
Apple had earlier successfully managed to get the whole Galaxy Tab series banned in Germany on grounds that the tablet looked similar to the iPad 2. Samsung has thus released this slightly re-designed version of the 7-inch so as to get around with the ban in Germany.
The re-designed tablet has the same specs as its older version that includes a 7-inch PLS LCD screen with a resolution of 600×1024, an Exynos 4210 SoC sporting a 1.2GHz dual-core A9 processor, an ARM Mali-400MP GPU, 1GB of RAM, a 2MP camera at the back and a 1.3MP camera in the front, microSD card slot and 16/32GB of internal memory. All the usual features like Wi-Fi, GPS, Accelerometer are also present.
Externally, Samsung has increased the bezel size around the screen by a bit and placed the speakers there. Quite a few Galaxy Tab users out there will appreciate this design change.
However, the Tab 7.0N Plus still runs on Android 3.2 Honeycomb with Sammy's TouchWIZ UI on top of it. The tablet should get the Ice Cream Sandwich update sometime in late Q1 of this year. This new version of the Galaxy Tab is already available in retail stores in Germany.

Those two words have defined me my entire life and driven my decisions in both my personal and work lives. I enjoy learning new things and pushing myself to see what I can accomplish.
A recent goal I had was to achieve status as a Certified Park and Recreation Executive. The four letters that now follow my job title, CPRE, are the outward proof that I'm trying to be the best recreation professional that I can be.
Dan Stencil, CPRE, Executive Officer, Oakland County Parks
Photo credit:Jonathan Schechter of the Oakland Press
One of my team members, Business Development Representative Phil Castonia and I worked through the certification process together. For an "under 40" employee like Phil, achieving certification is an excellent opportunity for greater career opportunities and advancement.
As part of the first class of certified executive individuals, I was examined on knowledge in all aspects of general administration, programming and operations management for parks and recreation professionals. Basically, the test covered knowledge that I've collected over my 35 years in the profession. The various positions I've held over the years gave me a breadth and depth of knowledge and the certification tested that experience plus expanded my skill set and knowledge base.
In fact, I've been so impressed with the lessons I've learned from the certification process that I'm challenging my staff to become certified in their areas of expertise. I think it's important to demonstrate your commitment to the profession, your fellow employees and peers in the field.
What I like most about the idea of being certified is that I can benchmark the accomplishments at the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission against national standard management practices. When you know what your peers are doing and have an understandable goal to aim for, it makes goal setting and decision making easier. You ask yourself, "What is the standard, where do I and my organization fall within the parks and recreation profession and what do we need to do to be on par with our peers"?
What personal mottos inspire or drive you in your personal and professional goals? In what ways have you recently challenged yourself? How do you feel after you have accomplished a tough goal?
Written by: Daniel J. Stencil, CPRE, Executive Officer, Oakland County Parks, MI
Editor's note: If you are interested in achieving your Certified Park and Recreation Executive certification, now is a great time. The 100th professional to pass the CPRE Examination will win 3.0 CEUs of NRPA Online Learning to use on their CPRE Renewal Requirement. The 100th CPRE will be announced this spring, and the professional will receive the free CEU package including Congress Live (totaling 1.0 CEU) and NRPA Online Learning Courses (totaling 2.0 CEU).

FDA OKs New Silicone Gel Breast Implant
Implant approved for reconstruction of breast tissue.
WASHINGTON — THURSDAY, Feb. 21, 2013 (MedPage Today) — The FDA has approved a new silicone gel breast implant for augmentation and reconstruction of women's breast tissue.
The Natrelle 410 Highly Cohesive Anatomically Shaped Silicone-Gel Filled Breast Implant is indicated for women ages 22 and older for augmentation, and for women of any age in reconstruction, the agency said in a statement released Wednesday.
The approval makes the Natrelle 410 the fourth FDA-approved silicone gel-filled breast implant.
The device contains more cross-linking silicone gel — a bond linking one silicone chain to another — than has been used in previously approved products by manufacturer Allergan, though the FDA noted that the "clinical significance of this type of silicone gel is not known."
Approval was based on data from 941 women who received the implants over a 7-year period. Adverse events over the study period were similar to those found in previous breast implant studies and included capsular contracture, reoperation, implant removal, asymmetry, and infection. A unique event to the Natrelle 410 was cracking in the implant.
The study data showed "a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness," said Jeffrey Shuren, MD, director of the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health, in the statement. However, Allergan must complete long-term trials of safety and efficacy with the device as part of the approval process, including comparisons with other approved devices.
The post-approval trials must include a 5-year follow-up "of approximately 3,500 women" with the implant, a 10-year follow-up with more than 2,000 women who've received the implant, five case-control trials comparing the implant with previously approved products, an evaluation of women's perceptions of labeling, and an analysis of implants removed and returned to the manufacturer, the FDA said.

Why every bottle and container of Mother's Garden Extra Virgin Olive Oil has the pressing and bottling dates on it.
Fresh food is the best, isn't it? Knowing something is as fresh as possible is as important as knowing where it comes from and that it has been produced with the utmost care.
We give the vital pressing and bottling dates on to every label – and we put this at the top of our 500ml glass bottles.
Best Before – just one year from bottling?
Absolutely. We put a best before date of one year from bottling to ensure the finest quality and benefits.
Olive oil can be kept for two or three years. Some olive oils on sale in the UK can be this old and there is nothing on the container to tell you how old. The flavour and goodness diminishes as an olive oil ages, and this dulling of its vitality is accelerated by light and warmth. The shorter the time in a bottle (never clear glass) and on a shelf in a store the better.
A great many people tell us that they didn't realise extra virgin olive oil had a scent and a flavour, with a peppery finish. That is because they have been used to cheaper, stale oil, thinking that because it says Extra Virgin the quality is guaranteed. It isn't.
Our aim is to reduce the time it takes to get our fresh olive oil from the mill where it is carefully stored, to our customers, to do all we can to give our customers the vital Mediterranean-diet fresh goodness of simple olive juice/oil as we enjoy here every day.
Always be sure of three things.
There are scores of wonderful olive oils in the world, made from different varieties and produced by dedicated growers, be they independent or a village cooperative. Explore the host of flavours, talk to your local deli, but be sure of three things
– the age of the olive oil,
– the provenance,
– and the care taken to produce it.
Is it clear when it was pressed, who produced it and where it was bottled?
Unfortunately there is a lot of olive oil on sale that is not fresh and is not 100 per cent extra virgin.
If you want to learn more, read books by experts such as Judy Ridgway, Anne Dolamore and Tom Muller.
Key facts about our award-winning olive oil.
– The arbequina olives are harvested here in the Priorat mountains of Catalonia in November.
– They are picked and cold pressed on the same day, in our village cooperative mill. Speed is vital for quality.
– We store the oil in the same room as where it was pressed, until we are preparing a shipment. We bottle at the mill too.
– It is 100 per cent, unblended arbequina extra virgin olive oil, pure and simple.
– We work with 80 other families, some of who only have a few trees, others who have hundreds. We have 110 trees.
– The oil has an exceptionally low acidity of less than 0.2 per cent and is rich in antioxidants and nutrients. You can find out more about the multiple health benefits of quality, fresh olive oil here.
– At home keep your olive oil in a cool place out of direct sunlight, and decant what you need into a glass pourer.
Our pourer lives in the middle of our table with the seasoning, because it is a daily food, not a luxury.

Penguins get 3rd win in row
Penguins 6, Capitals 3
It was a game of disputed deflections and odd bounces, with the puck behaving more like that oblong ball with the laces more commonly associated with Super Bowl Sunday. The strangest carom of all came on a simple dump-in that hit a stanchion along the glass and went into a net deserted by a befuddled goaltender.
The Pittsburgh Penguins weren't fazed by that bit of misfortune that tied the game in the second period, just as the Washington Capitals couldn't take advantage of the stroke of luck. The third annual Super Bowl warm-up between the Eastern Conference rivals soon turned into a rout, with Chris Kunitz getting a hat trick in the visitors' 6-3 victory.
"I really like our team responding to that bad bounce that happened on the wall," Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma said. "Now it's 2-2 and our team responded well with the penalty kill and getting some goals."
Kris Letang, Paul Martin and Matt Cooke also scored, Sidney Crosby had three assists, and Tomas Vokoun made 21 saves against his former team for the Penguins, who have won three straight and four of five to lead the Atlantic Division.
In a game that reflected both teams' fortunes so far in the lockout-shortened season, the Penguins had the luxury of spending the postgame talking about who actually should have received credit for their half-dozen goals.
Kunitz thought he scored four instead of three, saying he got his stick on the puck to redirect Martin's shot from the point in the first period. And Cooke was given a redirect goal on a shot from Deryk Engelland that seemed instead to hit Capitals defenseman Jeff Schultz.
"I didn't know they took the other one away from me," Kunitz said. "That's how it bounces. No one really cares around here. ... We're worried about the two points."
Then came the bizarre 80-footer from Capitals defenseman John Carlson, an obvious dump-in that Vokoun retreated behind the net to intercept. Vokoun then tripped trying to get back to the crease when he saw the puck take the unexpected change of direction along the glass.
Mike Green and Mike Ribeiro also scored for the Capitals, who have lost seven of nine to start the season under their new coach.
"It's always tough when you have a new coach," said Vokoun, who played last year for the Capitals under offensive-minded Bruce Boudreau and defensive-minded Dale Hunter. "You have three times in less than a year they changed the psychology of the team, how they play."

For those of you who grew up either chopping your own wood or buying split wood and storing it for the winter, you can easily recreate the look in your own home without the hassle using the Real Fyre Split Oak Designer Plus Gas Logs by Peterson. Each set of gas logs looks like the split oak wood, cured for seasons that you remember. The logs not only look great, but are constructed of the highest-quality materials in the industry and reinforced with steel rods. The handpainted surface details and gas flames dancing realistically through the holes in the top logs provide the finishing touch. You don't need to give up the homey look of split wood and you don't need to break your back trying to fill up the woodpile. All you need is a set of Real Fyre Split Oak Designer Plus Gas Logs by Peterson and you and your family can continue to have your winters the way you like them.
This vented gas log set comes with a Peterson Real Fyre ANSI Certified Triple T Gas Log Burner System. It produces the same realistic flames and natural look you would expect from any Peterson burner, but with a unique improvement. The ANSI Certified Triple T features a T-shaped burner that emphasizes its front embers, giving them an even greater dramatic effect, and adds depth to its flames. This unique design also maximizes the warmth you get from your gas logs by bringing the flames closer to your fireplace opening.
This is a vented gas log set that must be installed in a fully vented wood burning fireplace. With vented gas logs, you'll enjoy a large, realistic-looking flame that operates with an open chimney flue, or damper. These logs, which simulate a wood-burning fire, are the most realistic type of gas logs but, just like real fires, lose some of the generated heat up the chimney. Vented gas log sets are the most popular type of gas logs sold. Professional installation is recommended.
Sets include handcrafted logs, custom grate, Real-Fyre Burner System, Granules (sand or vermiculite), Glowing Embers, grate clips/log locators, pan/connector kit and damper clamp.
This gas log set comes with a Variable Flame Remote Ready Pilot System. The variable flame remote ready pilot system allows you to control your system using a remote control, wall switch, or the manual knob on the burner system. This system does have variable flame height control to turn the fire up and down.

Kanye West + Kim Kardashian Are Engaged
Kimye are gettin' hitched!
Kim Kardashian's last marriage, to NBA player Kris Humphries, lasted all of 72 days but that hasn't soured her romantic spirit or her belief in marriage as an institution. The reality star is now engaged to rapper Kanye West, father of her daughter North, born in June.
It's not surprising, since these two kids, who have been dating since early 2012, seem so happy and have already started their family! The engagement feels like a formality at this point, since the couple is so firmly committed.
Yeezy popped the question in a super sweet way, too.
E! reports that the controversial rapper and fashion designer apparently asked Kim for her hand in marriage in front of friends and family at AT&T Park in San Francisco last night (Oct. 21). It was also Kim's 33rd birthday, so she got quite the present from her man, who is currently on tour.
He was not playing a gig at the venue, but he reportedly rented it out so that he could pop the question.
"He projected 'Pleeese marry meee!!!' onto the stadium screen for everyone to see," reports Us Weekly. Can we get an "Aw?"
As for the ring, it's 15 carats (!!!), which is actually slightly smaller than her previous engagement ring. It is however, by the same designer, Lorraine Schwartz.
When West appeared on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' a few weeks ago, he talked about the media's criticisms of "my girl" and how much he loved Kardashian, despite people questioning his relationship with her since she is on reality TV.
Kardashian has laid low since giving birth, choosing to let West reveal photos of the baby on her mother Kris Jenner's now-canceled talk show and sharing them on social media, as opposed to accepting millions from a glossy mag for first rights to pics of the little girl, which most people expected her to do.
So we're going to assume that when she and West swap vows, it won't be the subject of a media frenzy and a TV special like it was last time.
This will be the first marriage for West and the third for Kardashian, who was also briefly wed to music producer Damon Thomas.
Congrats to the couple and little North West on this exciting and happy news!

The virtual borehole and section viewer allows the user to drill virtual boreholes and slice through a geological model both vertically and horizontally using interactive tools on the fly.
This tool offers a glimpse into how geological models will be increasingly made accessible via the Web.
To demonstrate the type of information available, we have released free models for seven areas of the UK that reflect a range of geological settings.
The data obtained from the viewer is based on a prediction and interpretation of the subsurface data. It should not be used as a replacement for a site investigation.
The depth of the lower geological unit in the model may be truncated at its base, such that the unit thickness is not accurately represented. The extent at which the geological succession is subdivided may vary between models.
Lithological information is generalised for each geological unit, and local conditions may vary.
BGS Groundhog is the BGS' 3D geological model delivery webpage. It contains a professional version of the virtual borehole and section viewer and provides information about licensing geological surfaces. Please see https://shop.bgs.ac.uk/Groundhog/home.cfm to explore our 3D geological models.

Problems With G3 Upper Meshes in 3Dxchange4
Recent testing of the G3 Male Upper mesh has uncovered that some software (notably Argile) is having difficulty handling the scattered data points in the Upper mesh which in turn is causing errors when trying to open the modified mesh in 3Dxchange4.
Sadly there is no general fix for this problem as each mesh is different. If you are encountering these problems with G3 Upper meshes and the models were not fixed in iClone 4.2 upgrade, please contact Reallusion Support who will be supplying fixed meshes to those who need them.
As always, please use the Support Form below to make your request, and please explain which avatar(s) you are having problems with. You will then be supplied a corrected mesh as soon as possible.
Thank You.

Might I suggest that the 3DX4 pipeline page and promo videos relating to Argile2 are now amended to reflect these findings. http://www.reallusion.com/iclone/3dx_pipeline.asp
This would help avoid future purchasers from assuming that Iclone4 - 3DX4 - Argile2 are fully compatible in the way currently illustrated there. I.E modification of Iclone avatar upper male meshes.

KRASNAYA POLYANA, RUSSIA—A forerunning sled struck a worker near the finish line of the track being used for sliding races at the Sochi Olympics just before the start of Thursday's two-man bobsled training at the Sanki Sliding Center.
Training was delayed for about 35 minutes. Officials did not immediately release any information about the worker's condition, though an ambulance was seen leaving the track shortly after the incident.
A work crew was seen repairing a light fixture that was suspended several feet over the ice surface, as well as picking up pieces of debris from the finish area. Olympic athletes remained in the start area, well away from the crash location, during the delay.
The International Bobsled and Skeleton Federation did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Forerunning sleds are used before training and competition sessions to assess track conditions and make sure the facility is safe for racing. Also, people in the vicinity of the track are almost always alerted that a sled is in the track through public-address announcements, though it was unclear why the worker struck Thursday was unaware that the session was beginning.
In 2005, U.S. skeleton racer Noelle Pikus-Pace was struck by a bobsled in the outrun of a track in Canada, shattering a leg and ultimately causing her to miss the 2006 Turin Olympics because of the injury. And the Sanki track was designed with several safety initiatives in mind after Georgian slider Nodar Kumaritashvili died in a luge training accident at the Whistler Sliding Center just hours before the start of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.

Seaford's Ralph Rossetti relishes 300th career win
Of all the basketball games that Seaford coach Ralph Rossetti has been a part of, some that he is most proud of didn't even count in the standings.
Every year on Christmas Eve, Rossetti hosts an alumni game where former Seaford players, some who fly in from out of state, face off in a basketball game. Those who graduated on even numbered years play against those who graduated on odd numbered years.
"Them coming back to play shows the respect they have for what you gave them," Rossetti said.
This past Christmas, over 40 alumni attended. Each of whom, in some capacity over the years, contributed to Rossetti's 300 career victories, a milestone the 31-year coach reached with a 53-37 win over Clarke last Tuesday.
Rossetti took over as head coach of the varsity team in 1981 after coaching eighth-grade basketball at the middle school for five years.
"I have the same enthusiasm now that I had when I started doing this," he said. "The only difference now is that I'm much more mellow in terms of how I approach things. But I get excited about practice, I get excited about the games. I'm no different."
Under his guidance, aggressive defense and an up-tempo, balanced offense became constants at Seaford. Of the 300 victories, he said winning the program's first county championship in 1999 was his most memorable victory.
"What it means is longevity," Rossetti said of the milestone win. "To be able to stay at one school for my whole career is what I'm most proud of. I've built up great relationships with many players. I truly believe that coaches are there to prepare kids for life through basketball."

Protesters claim to dodge Durham police through Twitter
From WNCN
DURHAM, N.C. –Anti-police protesters claimed to throw off Durham police using Twitter as they rallied at the Streets of Southpoint mall Tuesday night.
A small group of protesters gathered at the American Tobacco Campus around 7 p.m. but then left the area after tweeting they would rally at North Gate Mall.
At 7:30 p.m., Twitter user John Brier (@JohnBrier) wrote in response to a tweet from @NC4Ferguson, "change of plans going to Northgate Mall instead. #BlackLivesMatter #Durham." (more…)

An old friend who has been active in politics for more than 30 years tells me he's giving up. "I can't stomach what's going on in Washington anymore," he says. "The hell with all of them. I have better things to do with my life."
My friend is falling into exactly the trap that the extreme right wants all of us to fall into -- such disgust and cynicism that we all give up on politics. Then they're free to take over everything.
Republicans blame the shutdown of Washington and possible default on the nation's debt on the president's "unwillingness to negotiate" over the Affordable Care Act. But that law has already been negotiated. It passed both houses of Congress and was signed into law by the president. It withstood a Supreme Court challenge.
The Affordable Care Act is hardly perfect, but neither was Social Security or Medicare when first enacted. The Constitution allows Congress to amend or delay laws that don't work as well as they were intended, or even to repeal them. But to do any of this requires new legislation -- including a majority of both houses of Congress and a president's signature (or else a vote to override a president's veto).
Our system does not allow one party to delay, amend or repeal a law of the land by shutting down the rest of the government until its demands are met. If that were the way our democracy worked, no law would ever be safe or settled. A disciplined majority in one house could always use the threat of a shutdown or default to gut any law it didn't like.
So the president cannot renegotiate the Affordable Care Act. And I don't believe Tea Party Republicans expect him to.
Their real goal is far more insidious. They want to sow even greater cynicism about the capacity of government to do much of anything. The shutdown and possible default are only the most recent and most dramatic instances of terminal gridlock, designed to get people like my friend to give up.
And on this score, they're winning. The approval rating for Congress was already at an all-time low before the shutdown, according to a poll released just hours before Washington went dark. The CNN/ORC poll showed that only 10 percent of Americans approved the job Congress was doing, while 87 percent disapproved. It was the all-time lowest approval rating for Congress in a CNN poll.
A recent Gallup survey found that only 42 percent of Americans -- also a record low -- have even a "fair" amount of confidence in the government's capacity to deal with domestic matters.
And in a recent survey by the Pew Research Center, 26 percent of Americans said they're angry at the federal government, while 51 percent said they were frustrated. Only 17 percent said they are basically content with the government. The share expressing anger has risen seven points since January, equaling the record high reached in August 2011, just after the widely unpopular debt-ceiling agreement between the president and Congress.
It's a vicious cycle. As average Americans give up on government, they pay less attention to what government does or fails to do -- thereby making it easier for the moneyed interests to get whatever they want: tax cuts for themselves and their businesses; regulatory changes that help them but harm employees, consumers and small investors; special subsidies and other forms of corporate welfare. And these skewed benefits only serve to confirm the public's cynicism.
The same cynicism also makes it easier to convince the public that even when the government does act for the benefit of the vast majority, it's not really doing so. So a law like the Affordable Care Act, which, for all its shortcomings, is still a step in the right direction relative to the costly mess of the nation's health-care system, is transformed into a nightmarish "government takeover."
So here's what I told my friend who said he's giving up on politics: Don't. If you give in to bullies, their bullying only escalates. If you give in to cynicism about our democracy, our democracy steadily erodes.
If you believe the fix is in and the game is rigged, and that a handful of billionaires and their Tea Party puppets are destroying our government, do something about it. Rather than give up, get more involved. Become more active. Make a ruckus. It's our government, and the most important thing you can do for yourself, your family, your community and the future is to make it work for all of us.

Seems to be a good number of Enphase users here - just saw this product announcement which is intriguing:
The Enphase Energy Management System
The key appears to be the Enphase AC Battery - a 1.2 kWh block of batteries with a bidirectional inverter inside that also plugs into an Engage cable so you can scale the system up to the desired size - or easily expand to the system over time.
http://enphase.com/wp-uploads/enphase.c ... hure-1.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
It's unclear as to what the actual power capabilities are as it lists two - 275W and 550W. Perhaps one is a maximum charge rate and the other is a maximum discharge rate?
It'll be interesting to see how much this costs. I'd love to have even 5 kWh of battery that I could easily plug into the house to shift demand outside of peak hours.
1.2 kWh storage blocks does seem a bit small to me, though. 2-4 kWh storage blocks would seem to make more sense for the typical application - I can't see people wanting less than a couple kWh of storage at a time. I'd love to see how they came up with the specs of the system.

Hello Shawna Dear,
OH, AGAIN, I have missed so much...YOUR Paris post was spectacular! That was a whole lot of fun, but I had SO MUCH going on that day, that I didn't get a chance to visit ALL those lovely ladies on this wonderful tour.
...and Yes... a best friend is worth SO VERY much. I am blessed with many acquaintances, a handful kindreds, but only a few dear BFFs
They are truly rare and should be cherished. This is a perfect post girlfriend...thanks for popping by, you always make me smile... xoxo Rosie

This is really a lovely post Shawna! I miss my best friends so much. It's really hard to forge new relationships in a foreign country and at my age nearing 40 it just gets harder. I do deeply cherish my friendships! You sound like a wonderful friend.
And thanks for leaving such encouraging words on my post. I am frightened, but I'm pushed by the fact that there are very few options for me, so I guess if I did have a job that paid well, then I probably wouldn't be making the changes that I am making now. Also, I never believed in myself until my husband started encouraging me, and then I began to believe. I never had someone in my corner until now and it makes a huge difference. I hope that you have that or will have that in your future too to make the change!
p.s. I think your blog is a part of that what makes you happy and others like myself! Thank you!
A big big hug to you! xoxo Reese

Isn't their a video of 2 rogues exploiting to GM island and killing a GM that was afk (which took them a LOOOOONG time) after which, they got banned.
Isn't their a video of 2 rogues exploiting to GM island and killing a GM that was afk (which took them a LOOOOONG time) after which, they got banned.
Actually, I see a bit of interesting potential here. I used to play an MMO years back called Redmoon Online, it was a lot of fun. Every now and then though the GM's would go to the battle arena with their super awesome powers and make an event out of people trying to kill them.
I don't see how it would be to far of a stretch to challenge one. But you have to admit, they are busy people and probably wouldn't be able to go out of their way to meet one person's challenge. However if it were a scheduled one time world event, perhaps per server, it would seem more logical.
But keep in mind, your 120 man raid will probably wipe. After all, they work for the guys that created the Titans. :3
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
"I think some of our best class designs come out when a mediocre player can get X performance out of the class with a simple rotation, but an exceptional players can coax slightly > X damage by doing a more complex rotation." - Ghostcrawler
Its official, there is no skill in wow nor is it designed to require it, stop wasting time reading/making guides and just face-roll, you will just do "slightly" less dps.
The method is very simple. just do a lot of research, find where said gm lives, and shoot him.
ot this is the most retardedly hilarious and awesome idea ive heard. good luck
In the 5 years Ive been playing wow ive seen a GM once, it was before Karazhan and he had some pretty sweet moves so good luck with that.
FLAGS people, FLAGS.
Volte 80 Frost DK--Cycloneduke 80 Holy Pally--Moardotz 80 Desto Warlock-- Dexterworgan 80 Assassination Rogue----Liadon 80 Feral Druid--Mumbles 70 Frost Mage--Bibleblack 70 Disc Priest--Dylli 70 DM Hunter--Krosa 70 Fury Warrior -- Slapntickle 70 Prot Warrior -- Okoi 80 Enha Shaman + 4 slave shamans multiboxed to 70 - Darksorrow EU PvP
Remember that GMs don't even have to use spells to screw with you. They could just poof you 300 yards into the air and laugh as you fall. They could spawn 10 Marrowgars and have all of them use Bone Storm. Hell they could send you to Shattrath and make A'dal hostile to you.
Regardless, this is a fruitless endeavor that won't succeed. To me, it just sounds like a scam to get 100k gold.
just thought of something hilarious. you get every one on the server to attack him, and he summons 3 LKs 2 illidans and 4 kiljadens
If the GM is not afk he can chose simply to become invincible etc. Your only hope is that he is afk somewhere with pvp on in a place reachable by players. Or you summon him to you,somehow make him attackable (maybe summon to an arena like gurubashi?)and attack him while hoping he either doesnt know how to make himself invincible or simply finds your effort at killing him amusing so lets you continue.
You realize GMs have a command they can use to kill everything on the entire server at once, right? I'm pretty sure if they wanted, they would just do that.
But hey, good luck to you on luring a GM out in the first place. I've talked to a GM for a few hours one night and tried to convince him/her to come out and duel me. He/she said the only way to get them to come out was to have the Unstoppable Force and the Immovable Object meet. Still trying to find people with those items and get them to duel. >.>
Sorry, looking for successful first kills here

In sign of downturn, Indian retail landlords finally capitulate on price
Written by Admin Saturday, 28 September 2013( 0 Votes )
���� ��
MUMBAI: In a capitulation that speaks to the depth of the slump in India�s economy, usually tight-fisted retail landlords have become uncharacteristically flexible on rents, as Lacoste India CEO Rajesh Jain knows well.
The French brand name has been offered space at a mall in the north Indian city of Jalandhar. But rather than seeking a fixed rent, the landlord is willing to take a cut of Lacoste�s revenue, a concession to the tenant to help it protect its sales margins.
�Discounts for a foreign lifestyle brand in a premium property were unheard of even a few months back, but now developers are coming to the table and are offering revenue share instead of rentals,� Jain said, adding the landlord had also offered to furnish the store to secure Lacoste�s tenancy.
Retailers in India say they can now negotiate revenue sharing deals or discounts on rent of up to 20 per cent and many are jumping at the chance, not necessarily because they see a bottom to the economic downturn but because the supply of new retail space is expected to tighten sharply from 2015.
�The discounts won�t be higher than 20 per cent even if the economy doesn�t improve in the next two quarters because the lack of supply is going to hit market sentiment very soon,� said Saloni Nangia, president for retail at Technopak Consultants.
�There are not enough new malls being built,� she said.
Landlords cut rents during the global financial crisis but traditionally have not been sensitive to changes in the economy, largely because they were cushioned by wide margins.
Now, they have been hit by a combination of factors. They have a lot of idle space, some of it expensive, after betting heavily on efforts by the government to open up the retail sector to foreign competitors.
But the expected wave of foreign retailers failed to materialise, forcing landlords to offer discounts even in the premium malls and popular high-street locations long impervious to a weakening economy.
That has coincided with the broader slide in the economy and the fall this year in the rupee to a record low. GDP growth is running below 5 per cent, less than half the rate seen in early 2010, and the pace of retail sales this financial year is expected to be its weakest in three years.
�Some corrections have happened. Some realities had to be considered,� said Tushar Mehta, the director of Amanora Town Centre, a 1.1 million sq-ft mall (102,000 square metres) in the city of Pune, near Mumbai. �Retailers are seeing this as a window to close a deal at a better rate.�
The mall, with brands such as Hong Kong fashion chain Esprit Holdings Ltd, US clothing brand Levi�s and Britain�s department store Marks & Spencer, has renegotiated some leases in recent months at a discount of 5-8 per cent.
The chance to lock in cheaper rents has prompted Future Retail to focus on relocating stores rather than opening new ones.
It has opened only two of its flagship Big Bazaar hypermarkets this year through July, compared with 20 a year earlier. It has, however, relocated several to locations offering more competitive rents.
�There are many good deals available now and it only makes sense to block those spaces up because the economy won�t stay this way forever,� said C.P. Toshniwal, the group�s chief financial officer.
Costa Coffee, a unit of Britain�s Whitbread Plc, is finding better deals on high streets than in malls, with prices down 10-15 per cent in the past two to three months, its India managing director, Santhosh Unni, said. He expects rents to keep falling in the next 6-8 months.
Hypermarket chain Spencer�s Retail, owned by power utility CESC Ltd, said rental costs have dropped as much as 20 per cent and it has been negotiating for 40 properties ahead of plans to open 80 stores over four years.
�We are hopeful of booking twice the number of deals today than we would normally because the market has become more realistic,� said Chief Executive Mohit Kampani.
The bargains may not last long though.
Jones Lang LaSalle�s Real Estate Intelligence Service estimates about 20 per cent of retail space is vacant and the gap might increase to 24 per cent in 2014, explaining why landlords are under pressure.
But since retailers often book space a few years in advance, eyes are already on 2015 and beyond because that is when supply is expected to tighten.
Jones Lang LaSalle expects the supply of new mall space to drop to 7.3 million sq ft (680,000 square metres) in 2015 from a record of 13.8 million sq ft (1.3 million square metres) in 2011.
�New mall projects are drying up so irrespective of good deals or not and the current problems with the economy, we are going ahead and booking space,� said Govind Shrikhande, managing director of Shoppers Stop, an apparel-to-hypermarkets chain.

I'm reluctant to post on this topic, because I don't feel like I'm doing enough. I feel ashamed of the times I couldn't make it to teacher marches at our state capital. I feel guilty about the times when I didn't canvas the neighborhood to promote pro-public school candidates.
Sometimes the system feels so big, so corrupt and so mechanical that it change seems insurmountable. So, what can I do?
I have a voice. I can use it locally. I can talk about education reform at family parties, in neighborhood hangouts and in the awkward transition times before and after church.
I have a voice. I can use it online. I can tweet out my thoughts (it's why I've been using the hashtag #myreform and I'd love if people tossed out some thoughts on what they will do to change education). I can blog about it. I get it. I don't have the funding of Bill Gates and I won't be invited to sit at a table with the president. However, there's a small band of people who will listen.
I have a voice. I can offer solutions. I can tell stories of what has worked in my classroom and at my school. I can share thoughts on fellow educators and the amazing work they're doing. I can reframe the story from either/or to "yeah, it's broken, but here's what's actually working . . . "
I have a voice. I can use it at my school. I can push alternative assessments and standards-based grading. I can create meaningful projects. I can demonstrate why human, humble discipline works better than bribes and extortion. Ultimately, what I have that Arne Duncan lacks, is a daily connection to the community, the land and the people.
I have a voice. I can create videos, podcasts and visuals in an effort to articulate a philosophy of education based upon democracy, authenticity and meaning rather than market norms and factory efficiency. A sketchy video comparing "standardized" and "common" might not hit the mainstream media. However, I can be indie in hopes that when people get fed up with the banal, biased journalism of NBC, they might be open to a new perspective.
I have a voice. I can ask questions. I can listen quietly with a sense of nuance and paradox. Oftentimes, I'm still too quick to make a bold statement, knowing that it might get more attention on Twitter. But, on my better days, I can listen well, learn the language of reformers, engage in respectful dialogue and try and build bridges.
I have a voice. I can find others with shared ideas and values regarding education. We can have a voice. A collective voice. We can protest. We can march. We can stop playing the role of martyrs and start playing the role of leaders in education reform.

Here are just a few random pictures from the past 5 weeks of Landon's life!Here's our handsome little guy on his 4 week birthday. This picture doesn't quite do him justice. I'm just not a very good photographer. It's my favorite outfit so far!
Every first time mom needs a picture of the baby taking a Sunday nap with Daddy. They were both so exhausted! Aren't my boys handsome? I think so!
He loves to sleep with his hands by his face. This is how we find him all the time. If we try to keep his arms away from his face he just freaks out and cries until they're free from restraint!
We looked everywhere for a beanie for his newborn pics. This is the only one we could find that was big enough. We had to buy it at Build-a-Bear workshop! Please don't tell our son we found his clothes at a toy store! This was his dress rehearsal.
I love it when he's awake and alert! His Nana bought him this darling outfit! He looks so cute in it!
